[RTTY] ARRL RTTY

[Jeff Blaine AC0C]

Hi Jim,

Can you explain to the uninitiated how a dual RX configuration would provide 
an advantage?

I can see advancing from one q to the next on each rig, alternatively, and 
then transmitting on the one that's ready for a call - but beyond that, it 
seems a guy is already going to be busy looking at the print - the macros 
take care of the sending, but the eye is still needed to sort the wheat from 
the chaff especially given a marginal print.

What am I missing?
